Everyone has been taking the

Everyone has been taking the "ethical philosophy selector" test and posting the results, so I thought I might as well join in. My results are about what I expected:

1.  Kant   (0%)  
2.  Aquinas   (0%)  
3.  Rand   (0%)  
4.  Augustine   (0%)  
5.  Spinoza   (0%)  

Interesting... but then:

6.  Prescriptivism   (0%)  
7.  Mill   (0%)  
8.  Stoics   (0%) 
9.  Ockham   (0%)  
10.  Sartre   (0%) 
11.  Bentham   (0%) 

No surprises there. On the other hand:

12.  Aristotle   (0%)  
13.  Plato   (0%)  
14.  Epicureans   (0%)  
15.  Nietzsche   (0%)  
16.  Cynics   (0%)

Hmm... that last one gave me pause. But most people who have been reading this blog for awhile will wink knowingly at this:
  
17.  Noddings   (0%)

and maybe perhaps this:
  
18.  Hume   (0%)

However, to my surprise:
  
19. Hobbes   (0%)
20. Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band (73%)

Cool. I now understand myself completely.

Update: the quiz is even more illuminating when it's been pornolized.
